Re: Do you use TV hookups at the parks you stay at?
So much valuable info, thanks to everybody for taking the time to share! To answer a few questions: Are you going to have full hookups - water/sewer/electric? Are you planning on both 30 and 50 amp service? Yes, 50/30/20 amp electric, water, and sewer at every site When you are placing the conduit for power, drop an extra conduit in for communications runs. It will cost next to nothing and you can add cables later. This is a good idea.. No. I wouldn't. But then I wouldn't camp next to an Interstate unless it was a late night stop. Then I wouldn't need the cable, I'd sleep and move on. I camp to be outside. We are actually a mile or so off the interstate, so it is nice a quiet. We are up on a hill overlooking the city, a good place to catch a good sunset! are you going to be mostly shade, some shade or no shade? Unfortunately, out in the panahandle of Texas, trees are hard to come by, so no shade for now. We plan on planting some but it will take some years to grow of course. Whats most important, spaces wide enough for slides, level sites, Towed parking, long enough you don't have to drop 5W, utilities in the correct area, picnic tables, space between sites not on top of each other. TV is secondary I have books & DVD's if I want to watch something. Good to know. Our spaces are 40' apart and 70' long so everybody will have plenty of room. It think we will skip the cable for now and focus on Wifi and other amenities for the time being. Thanks again for all the input.497Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do you use TV hookups at the parks you stay at?

I looked around in our area, most of the nicer parks had cable and the not so nice ones didn't. Maybe that's the standard everywhere?336Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do you use TV hookups at the parks you stay at?
Wow, thank you all so much for the input. I'd say it is both destination and pass through, since we are right by the interstate out in the middle of nowhere, but there is a popular state park close by, as well as a university so there could be some longer term folks too. There is good OTA reception there though. I was thinking about running cable and just hooking it up to an OTA antenna, and possibly upgrade to cable later on but sounds like most folks have OTA built right into their RV. Maybe I'll focus on good WIFI for now, since it sounds like that is what people really want.336Views0likes0CommentsDo you use TV hookups at the parks you stay at?
I am in the process of building a small RV park, and would like to know the general feeling towards Cable TV hookups. Is this something that you require? I hear most campers now have built in TV options, whether it is cable or antenna. This is just a small park with 10 spots, so its not like an RV resort or anything. I am just trying to poll the average RVer decide if it is worth the time an expense to add that amenity. I probably won't add it if most people couldn't care less if it is there or not. This forum seems like it would be a great place to get such info!7.6KViews0likes44Comments
